"Nothing is much important than health.
The famous saying Small family is a happy family has been significantly re-quoted as 'Healthy family is a Happy family' since health is very much related to happiness.
Therefore it would be wise to say that Healthy District is a Happy District," asserted Lunthang Haokip, Executive Member (Vety.
& Med.), Autonomous District Council, Sadar Hills while adding that when all the districts of the state become healthy Manipur will be automatically a happy state.
Lunthang Haokip was speaking on the sidelines of the first Free Medical Camp conducted yesterday at Chalva village, exactly 50 Km.
away from Kangpokpi along Imphal�Tamenglong road.
The free medical camp was organized and sponsored by Autonomous District Council, Sadar Hills under the 13th Finance.
The EM (Vety.&Med.), ADC Sadar Hills continued wealth might be the wish list for many people throughout the world but people of Sadar Hills should give priority for healthy longevity because wealth is earned through hard work and if our health is affected, how would we be able to concentrate on our work to bring back the bacon home? Therefore is it vital that we remain healthy so that we can focus on our work to put food on the table.
"When one is healthy enough to put sufficient food on his table, he is a happy man", noted Lunthang Haokip adding that ADC, Sadar Hills took the initiatives of conducting free medical camp with its scanty capacity in some remote areas of the district to bring healthy people, healthy district and healthy state which need the cooperation and support of the people and the government.
Similar camps will be conducted very soon at Saikul area and New Keithelmanbi, he informed.
